<a name="gtk-Resource-Files.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
GTK+ provides resource file mechanism for configuring
various aspects of the operation of a GTK+ program
at runtime.
</p>
<div class="refsect2" lang="en">
<a name="id3073295"></a><h3>Default files</h3>
<p>
An application can cause GTK+ to parse a specific RC
file by calling <a class="link" href="gtk-Resource-Files.html#gtk-rc-parse" title="gtk_rc_parse ()"><code class="function">gtk_rc_parse()</code></a>. In addition to this,
certain files will be read at the end of <a class="link" href="gtk-General.html#gtk-init" title="gtk_init ()"><code class="function">gtk_init()</code></a>.
Unless modified, the files looked for will be
<code class="filename">&lt;SYSCONFDIR&gt;/gtk-2.0/gtkrc</code>
and <code class="filename">.gtkrc-2.0</code> in the users home directory.
(<code class="filename">&lt;SYSCONFDIR&gt;</code> defaults to
<code class="filename">/usr/local/etc</code>. It can be changed with the
<code class="option">--prefix</code> or <code class="option">--sysconfdir</code> options when
configuring GTK+.) Note that although the filenames contain the version
number 2.0, all 2.x versions of GTK+ look for these files.
</p>
<p>
The set of these <em class="firstterm">default</em> files
can be retrieved with <a class="link" href="gtk-Resource-Files.html#gtk-rc-get-default-files" title="gtk_rc_get_default_files ()"><code class="function">gtk_rc_get_default_files()</code></a>
and modified with <a class="link" href="gtk-Resource-Files.html#gtk-rc-add-default-file" title="gtk_rc_add_default_file ()"><code class="function">gtk_rc_add_default_file()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="gtk-Resource-Files.html#gtk-rc-set-default-files" title="gtk_rc_set_default_files ()"><code class="function">gtk_rc_set_default_files()</code></a>.
Additionally, the <code class="envar">GTK2_RC_FILES</code> environment variable
can be set to a <span class="type">G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S-separated</span> list of files
in order to overwrite the set of default files at runtime.
</p>
<p><a name="locale-specific-rc"></a>
For each RC file, in addition to the file itself, GTK+ will look for
a locale-specific file that will be parsed after the main file.
For instance, if <code class="envar">LANG</code> is set to <code class="literal">ja_JP.ujis</code>,
when loading the default file <code class="filename">~/.gtkrc</code> then GTK+ looks
for <code class="filename">~/.gtkrc.ja_JP</code> and <code class="filename">~/.gtkrc.ja</code>,
and parses the first of those that exists.

<a name="id3120635"></a><h3>Pathnames and patterns</h3>
<a name="gtkrc-pathnames-and-patterns"></a><p>
A resource file defines a number of styles and key bindings and
attaches them to particular widgets. The attachment is done
by the <code class="literal">widget</code>, <code class="literal">widget_class</code>,
and <code class="literal">class</code> declarations. As an example
of such a statement:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
widget "mywindow.*.GtkEntry" style "my-entry-class"
</pre></div>
<p>
attaches the style <code class="literal">"my-entry-class"</code> to all
widgets  whose <em class="firstterm">widget path</em> matches the
<em class="firstterm">pattern</em> <code class="literal">"mywindow.*.GtkEntry"</code>.
That is, all <a class="link" href="GtkEntry.html" title="GtkEntry"><span class="type">GtkEntry</span></a> widgets which are part of a <a class="link" href="GtkWindow.html" title="GtkWindow"><span class="type">GtkWindow</span></a> named
<code class="literal">"mywindow"</code>.
</p>
<p>
The patterns here are given in the standard shell glob syntax.
The <code class="literal">"?"</code> wildcard matches any character, while
<code class="literal">"*"</code> matches zero or more of any character.
The three types of matching are against the widget path, the
<em class="firstterm">class path</em> and the class hierarchy. Both the
widget path and the class path consist of a <code class="literal">"."</code>
separated list of all the parents of the widget and the widget itself
from outermost to innermost. The difference is that in the widget path,
the name assigned by <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-name" title="gtk_widget_set_name ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_set_name()</code></a> is used if present, otherwise
the class name of the widget, while for the class path, the class name is
always used.
</p>
<p>
Since GTK+ 2.10,<code class="literal">widget_class</code> paths can also contain
<code class="literal">&lt;classname&gt;</code> substrings, which are matching
the class with the given name and any derived classes. For instance,
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
widget_class "*&lt;GtkMenuItem&gt;.GtkLabel" style "my-style"
</pre></div>
<p>
will match <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html" title="GtkLabel"><span class="type">GtkLabel</span></a> widgets which are contained in any kind of menu item.
</p>
<p>
So, if you have a <a class="link" href="GtkEntry.html" title="GtkEntry"><span class="type">GtkEntry</span></a> named <code class="literal">"myentry"</code>, inside of a
horizontal box in a window named <code class="literal">"mywindow"</code>, then the
widget path is: <code class="literal">"mywindow.GtkHBox.myentry"</code>
while the class path is: <code class="literal">"GtkWindow.GtkHBox.GtkEntry"</code>.
</p>
<p>
Matching against class is a little different. The pattern match is done
against all class names in the widgets class hierarchy (not the layout
hierarchy) in sequence, so the pattern:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
class "GtkButton" style "my-style"
</pre></div>
<p>
will match not just <a class="link" href="GtkButton.html" title="GtkButton"><span class="type">GtkButton</span></a> widgets, but also <a class="link" href="GtkToggleButton.html" title="GtkToggleButton"><span class="type">GtkToggleButton</span></a> and
<a class="link" href="GtkCheckButton.html" title="GtkCheckButton"><span class="type">GtkCheckButton</span></a> widgets, since those classes derive from <a class="link" href="GtkButton.html" title="GtkButton"><span class="type">GtkButton</span></a>.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, a priority can be specified for each pattern, and styles
override other styles first by priority, then by pattern type and then
by order of specification (later overrides earlier). The priorities
that can be specified are (highest to lowest):
</p>
<table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list">
<tr><td><code class="literal">highest</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">rc</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">theme</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">application</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">gtk</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">lowest</code></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<code class="literal">rc</code> is the default for styles
read from an RC file, <code class="literal">theme</code>
is the default for styles read from theme RC files,
<code class="literal">application</code>
should be used for styles an application sets
up, and <code class="literal">gtk</code> is used for styles
that GTK+ creates internally.

<a name="id3153053"></a><h3>Optimizing RC Style Matches</h3>
<a name="optimizing-rc-style-matches"></a><p>
Everytime a widget is created and added to the layout hierarchy of a <a class="link" href="GtkWindow.html" title="GtkWindow"><span class="type">GtkWindow</span></a>
("anchored" to be exact), a list of matching RC styles out of all RC styles read
in so far is composed.
For this, every RC style is matched against the widgets class path,
the widgets name path and widgets inheritance hierarchy.
As a consequence, significant slowdown can be caused by utilization of many
RC styles and by using RC style patterns that are slow or complicated to match
against a given widget.
The following ordered list provides a number of advices (prioritized by
effectiveness) to reduce the performance overhead associated with RC style
matches:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1">
<li><p>
  Move RC styles for specific applications into RC files dedicated to those
  applications and parse application specific RC files only from
  applications that are affected by them.
  This reduces the overall amount of RC styles that have to be considered
  for a match across a group of applications.
  </p></li>
<li>
<p>
  Merge multiple styles which use the same matching rule, for instance:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
     style "Foo" { foo_content }
     class "X" style "Foo"
     style "Bar" { bar_content }
     class "X" style "Bar"
</pre></div>
<p>
   is faster to match as:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
     style "FooBar" { foo_content bar_content }
     class "X" style "FooBar"
</pre></div>
<p>
  </p>
</li>
<li><p>
  Use of wildcards should be avoided, this can reduce the individual RC style
  match to a single integer comparison in most cases.
  </p></li>
<li><p>
  To avoid complex recursive matching, specification of full class names
  (for <code class="literal">class</code> matches) or full path names (for
  <code class="literal">widget</code> and <code class="literal">widget_class</code> matches)
  is to be preferred over shortened names
  containing <code class="literal">"*"</code> or <code class="literal">"?"</code>.
  </p></li>
<li><p>
  If at all necessary, wildcards should only be used at the tail or head
  of a pattern. This reduces the match complexity to a string comparison
  per RC style.
  </p></li>
<li><p>
  When using wildcards, use of <code class="literal">"?"</code> should be preferred
  over <code class="literal">"*"</code>. This can reduce the matching complexity from
  O(n^2) to O(n). For example <code class="literal">"Gtk*Box"</code> can be turned into
  <code class="literal">"Gtk?Box"</code> and will still match <a class="link" href="GtkHBox.html" title="GtkHBox"><span class="type">GtkHBox</span></a> and <a class="link" href="GtkVBox.html" title="GtkVBox"><span class="type">GtkVBox</span></a>.
  </p></li>
<li><p>
  The use of <code class="literal">"*"</code> wildcards should be restricted as much
  as possible, because matching <code class="literal">"A*B*C*RestString"</code> can
  result in matching complexities of O(n^2) worst case.
  </p></li>

<p>
In a <code class="literal">stock</code> definition, icon sources are specified as a
4-tuple of image filename or icon name, text direction, widget state, and size, in that
order.  Each icon source specifies an image filename or icon name to use with a given
direction, state, and size. Filenames are specified as a string such
as <code class="literal">"itemltr.png"</code>, while icon names (looked up
in the current icon theme), are specified with a leading
<code class="literal">@</code>, such as <code class="literal">@"item-ltr"</code>.
The <code class="literal">*</code> character can be used as a
wildcard, and if direction/state/size are omitted they default to
<code class="literal">*</code>. So for example, the following specifies different icons to
use for left-to-right and right-to-left languages:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
stock["my-stock-item"] =
{
  { "itemltr.png", LTR, *, * },
  { "itemrtl.png", RTL, *, * }
}
</pre></div>
<p>
This could be abbreviated as follows:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
stock["my-stock-item"] =
{
  { "itemltr.png", LTR },
  { "itemrtl.png", RTL }
}
</pre></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
You can specify custom icons for specific sizes, as follows:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
stock["my-stock-item"] =
{
  { "itemmenusize.png", *, *, "gtk-menu" },
  { "itemtoolbarsize.png", *, *, "gtk-large-toolbar" }
  { "itemgeneric.png" } /* implicit *, *, * as a fallback */
}
</pre></div>
<p>
The sizes that come with GTK+ itself are <code class="literal">"gtk-menu"</code>,
<code class="literal">"gtk-small-toolbar"</code>, <code class="literal">"gtk-large-toolbar"</code>,
<code class="literal">"gtk-button"</code>, <code class="literal">"gtk-dialog"</code>. Applications
can define other sizes.
</p>
<p>
It's also possible to use custom icons for a given state, for example:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
stock["my-stock-item"] =
{
  { "itemprelight.png", *, PRELIGHT },
  { "iteminsensitive.png", *, INSENSITIVE },
  { "itemgeneric.png" } /* implicit *, *, * as a fallback */
}
</pre></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
When selecting an icon source to use, GTK+ will consider text direction most
important, state second, and size third. It will select the best match based on
those criteria. If an attribute matches exactly (e.g. you specified
<code class="literal">PRELIGHT</code> or specified the size), GTK+ won't modify the image;
if the attribute matches with a wildcard, GTK+ will scale or modify the image to
match the state and size the user requested.

<a name="id3159157"></a><h3>Key bindings</h3>
<p>
Key bindings allow the user to specify actions to be
taken on particular key presses. The form of a binding
set declaration is:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
binding <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> {
  bind <em class="replaceable"><code>key</code></em> {
    <em class="replaceable"><code>signalname</code></em> (<em class="replaceable"><code>param</code></em>, ...)
    ...
  }
  ...
}
</pre></div>
<p>
<em class="replaceable"><code>key</code></em> is a string consisting of a
series of modifiers followed by the name of a key. The
modifiers can be:
</p>
<table class="simplelist" border="0" summary="Simple list">
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;alt&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;ctl&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;control&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;meta&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;hyper&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;super&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;mod1&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;mod2&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;mod3&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;mod4&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;mod5&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;release&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;shft&gt;</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">&lt;shift&gt;</code></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<code class="literal">&lt;shft&gt;</code> is an alias for
<code class="literal">&lt;shift&gt;</code>,
<code class="literal">&lt;ctl&gt;</code> is an alias for
<code class="literal">&lt;control&gt;</code>,
 and
<code class="literal">&lt;alt&gt;</code> is an alias for
<code class="literal">&lt;mod1&gt;</code>.
</p>
<p>
The action that is bound to the key is a sequence
of signal names (strings) followed by parameters for
each signal. The signals must be action signals.
(See <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-new"
><code class="function">g_signal_new()</code></a>). Each parameter can be
a float, integer, string, or unquoted string
representing an enumeration value. The types of
the parameters specified must match the types of the
parameters of the signal.
</p>
<p>
Binding sets are connected to widgets in the same manner as styles,
with one difference: Binding sets override other binding sets first
by pattern type, then by priority and then by order of specification.
The priorities that can be specified and their default values are the
same as for styles.

This function recomputes the styles for all widgets that use a
particular <a class="link" href="GtkSettings.html" title="Settings"><span class="type">GtkSettings</span></a> object. (There is one <a class="link" href="GtkSettings.html" title="Settings"><span class="type">GtkSettings</span></a> object
per <a
href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gdk/GdkScreen.html"
><span class="type">GdkScreen</span></a>, see <a class="link" href="GtkSettings.html#gtk-settings-get-for-screen" title="gtk_settings_get_for_screen ()"><code class="function">gtk_settings_get_for_screen()</code></a>); It is useful
when some global parameter has changed that affects the appearance
of all widgets, because when a widget gets a new style, it will
both redraw and recompute any cached information about its
appearance. As an example, it is used when the default font size
set by the operating system changes. Note that this function
doesn't affect widgets that have a style set explicitely on them
with <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-style" title="gtk_widget_set_style ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_set_style()</code></a>.</p>
